Cambridgeshire County Council: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Cambridgeshire County Council is a county council in the East of England. We hold 1,095 of its award notices, 93 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 3 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Cambridgeshire County Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 618 of those 1,095 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers

Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Cambridgeshire County Council has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
62% of Cambridgeshire County Council's awarded value went through open competition and 1% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 62% (£395m)
- Framework/DPS 26% (£166m)
- Other/Unspecified 10% (£66.7m)
- Direct 1% (£7.2m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Cambridgeshire County Council, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.

Procurement radar
Committee papers Cambridgeshire County Council published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 30 Jun 2026 | Re-Tender of Home and Community Support ServicesIn Stage 2, tender submissions will be assessed for quality and price by an evaluation panel comprised of officers from Commissioning, Contracts, Operation and Finance and overseen by the Procurement team. | Adults and Health Committee |
| 17 Sep 2026 | Mental Health and Autism Supported Accommodation Framework…the council spent a total of £8.7 million on Mental Health Supported Accommodation, delivered through a mix of placements via the current Mental Health/ Autism Framework, the Supported Living for Adults with Learning Disabilities Framework, off-framework providers, and out-of-county placements. | Adults and Health Committee |

Where Cambridgeshire County Council spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Cambridgeshire. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Cambridgeshire County Council's own published papers, at https://cambridgeshire.cmis.uk.com/ccc_live. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Cambridgeshire's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
